Does Enceladus govern magnetospheric dynamics at Saturn?
Instruments on the Cassini spacecraft reveal that a heat source within Saturn's moon Enceladus powers a great plume of water ice particles and dust grains, a geyser that jets outward from the south polar regions and most likely serves as the dominant source of Saturn's E ring. The interaction of flowing magnetospheric plasma with the plume modifies the particle and field environment of Enceladu...
متن کاملSaturnian magnetospheric dynamics: Elucidation of a camshaft model
[1] Periodic modulation of magnetospheric phenomena at Earth and Jupiter results principally from the tilt of the dipole axis relative to the rotation axis. Saturn’s nearly aligned dipole moment is tilted by less than 0.5 from the spin axis, yet the power of radiofrequency emissions, the orientation of the magnetic field, and many properties of the magnetospheric plasma vary periodically at the...
متن کاملReconstruction of Lowdimensional Magnetospheric Dynamics by Singular Spectrum Analysis
The low dimensionality of magnetospheric activity indicated by previous phase space reconstructions using the AE and AL data suffer from the limitations of these t chniques. In this paper the singular spectrum analysis is used to study the global magnetospheric dynamics using the AE data and it yields a correlation dimension m2.5, thus confirming the low dimensionality published earlier. Furthe...
متن کاملThe Role of the Plasmasphere in Radiation Belt
The plasmapause separates cold dense plasma in the inner magnetosphere from hot, low-density outer magnetosphere plasma. This boundary is very dynamic in response to changes in magnetospheric convection and other stormtime phenomena. The outer radiation belt is also dynamic during stormtime in terms of both radial location and energetic particle population. It is proposed that outer radiation b...
متن کاملMetastable Black Saturns Combining Everything (1) Becomes
Black Saturns have multiple horizons and so offer a testing ground for the ideas of black hole thermodynamics. In this note, we numerically scan for phases that are in equilibrium by extremizing total entropy in the 2-dimensional moduli space of stationary, singly rotating black Saturns with fixed total mass and angular momentum. On top of the known TH = TR, ΩH = ΩR configurations, we find phas...
